Organized by: The Arctic Summer College, Ecologic Institute US, Ecologic Institute Berlin. 11. September 2017
Over the course of its six-year history, the Arctic Summer College has established a formidable network of experts in Arctic policy, governance, and research, who are influencing the broader international discourse reshaping the approach to understanding the Arctic and inspiring new voices to participate in the process of reimagining the region’s future.
